Summary

This study aims to identify injury risk factors using a clinical/functional test battery in university basketball and volleyball athletes, to develop individualized exercise prescriptions for athletes scoring below established cut-off values on each test, and to evaluate the effects of an 8-week intervention program on test parameters.

As a secondary aim, all participants will be monitored prospectively over a 6-month season to assess the incidence of injuries and health problems, and to evaluate the contribution of the individualized program to injury-related health outcomes.

The study consists of four phases: (1) baseline cross-sectional assessment (T0), (2) 8-week individualized exercise intervention for athletes below cut-off thresholds, (3) post-intervention reassessment (T1), and (4) 6-month prospective injury surveillance (T2).

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Test-Specific Individualized Exercise Program

An 8-week individualized exercise program prescribed based on each athlete's baseline test deficits. Components include: 1. Dynamic balance/proprioception exercises (for YBT-LQ deficit): single-leg balance progressions, 3-direction reach drills, BOSU balance exercises. 2. Plyometric control and symmetry exercises (for Hop Test LSI deficit): single-leg hop-and-stick, lateral hops, eccentric step-up/step-down. 3. Hamstring/posterior chain flexibility exercises (for ASLR deficit): static hamstring stretching with strap, PNF contract-relax, seated hamstring stretch. 4. Scapular stability and upper extremity endurance exercises (for CKCUEST deficit): plank shoulder taps, bear crawl, side plank progressions. 5. Posterior shoulder capsule and rotator cuff exercises (for GIRD deficit): cross-body stretch, sleeper stretch, external rotation with resistance band. Dosage: 3 sessions/week, 20-30 minutes/session. Progressive overload applied. Weekly compliance monitored.
